Melo Kan Interview with MusicOnPlay

09. Feb, 2010 6 Comments

What’s up folks…
Here’s another exlusive interview. This time it’s with the up and coming left coast rapper Melo Kan.

One of the pioneers for the New West promises to be Melo Kan. Born and raised in Southern California on the streets of Rialto, Compton, and South Central Los Angeles, Melo began his rap grind full force in 2001.

Read the interview after the jump!

1. What’s up Melo Kan, what have you been up to lately?

What’s going on family? I’m feeling real blessed right now. I just touched down from Africa last night; Amazing.

2. Can you tell us more about your come-up, and why did you choose rap?

I have been rapping since I was a kid, but really didn’t begin to take it seriously till about my second year in college. I was in a group called “Klas~sick” with two other extremely talented rhyme slingers. It was during that time I went thru the mc battle phase and really getting my feet wet with performing. As life began to shape for us, we chose different paths. So I guess the game really chose me. I love everything about music from creating to performing; I feel destined for this.

3. Do you only listen to rap music?

No way! I listen to classical music, rock n roll, classic rock, oldies, you name it. I get inspired by other genres more than I do by rap actually. Rap is uninspiring at the moment because of the state the industry is in. It’s a real bummer! (Laughing)

4. When are you planning to drop your new album?

New album “Heart of the City” slated to drop late spring/early summer! I am extremely excited about this one.

5. Who have you had the pleasure of working with til now as far as Producers and Artist’s goes?

I’ve worked with J-Dawg out of Slim Thug’s Boss Hogg Outlaws camp, super producer THX, Bad Lucc, FOC, and Those Chosen, just to name a few.

6. Do you have a record deal or are you still looking for one?

Realistically I am not in search of a record deal. I want to solidify my brand as an independent and then possibly look for a label deal. I have a few artists of my own that really push the line on this Blokk Movement style of music, so seeing their development is just as important as my own success.

7. How did the internet affect your career, and where can your fans find you online?

The internet really put me in touch with fans that would have otherwise never heard of me, so shout out to the nerd who created the internet (laughing). My fans can find me on twitter @blokkmovement or on facebook in the Blokk Movement Group or if all else fails www.melokan.com! I’m always there. If anyone wants to be a part of the movement hit up info@4lbmusik.net and you will be connected for life.

08. Any last words for your fans and/or MusicOnPlay visitors?

Shout-out to the big homey Bloody Chuck! To my fans, I love y’all! Without your ear I would be a voice in the dark. I’m a real dude so when you see me in the streets holla Blokk Movement and I will respond by saluting. One- love.
